Overview
Emerald Sakara
In 2023, gorgeous Emerald Sakara will join her sister yacht Emerald Azzurra that won ‘Best New Luxury Ship’ at the 2022 Cruise Critic Editor’s Picks Awards. The second luxurious ocean-going yacht in the Emerald Cruises fleet offers an intimate cruising experience with premium services aboard and sails to the most amazing destinations of the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, the Adriatic Sea, Central America, the Caribbean, and a brand-new sailing destination – the Seychelles.
The 100-guest, luxurious yacht starts sailing the waters of Europe in August 2023, adds Western Europe cruises since October 2023, and lets travelers enjoy North American adventures since November 2023.
Thanks to the yacht's thoughtful design, it can access smaller ports not available for bigger vessels. Thus, travelers can enjoy visiting the hearts of the world's most renowned destinations, from Italy to Greece, from Egypt to Jordan, from the French Riviera to Turkey and Israel, and more.
Thoughts Become Things
The new luxury yacht Emerald Sakara gets its unique name from a Sanskrit mantra. It means 'thoughts become things,' and it suits her so much, especially with a new sailing destination added to the Emerald Cruises itineraries - the charming islands of Seychelles in the Indian Ocean, off East Africa.
During the 8-day Tropical Charms of Seychelles, travelers can enjoy visiting Port Victoria (Mahé island) and several islands, including Sainte Anne, Praslin, Cousin, Curieuse, Grande Soeur, La Digue, and Aride.
Features of the new ocean-going yacht:
Second luxury yacht in the Emerald Cruises fleet;
Has more space per guest than similar vessels of her size;
88% of accommodations have balconies.
